Loren Connors / Vapour Theories
Split LP

Reviewed by BravoMarco

Loren Connors: The guitar maestro with a live recording from a performance in London during 2011. Vapour Theories see Bardo Pond’s Michael & Jon Gibbons on a bluesy guitar driven voyage. Both tracks compliment each other perfectly & can be played back to back. Mean & moody guitar experimental, with that feeling of isolation throughout.
No FCC’s (instrumentals)

1) Loren Connors: Café Oto (20.01) Slow & painful. Haunting electric opening leading onto a mellower feel. Fade at 7.50 or stay for the entire journey. It gets loud, but never that harsh. Ends on the eerie side, with a bit of loudness thrown in.

2) Vapour Theories: Descend, part 1 (for Bailey) (19.19) Rich & luxurious. A smoldering classic. Threatens to unleash, all the while maintaining the peace. Exactly as you would expect from the Bardo Pond stable.
